    They have limited availability in Australia and few flavours, and recently released 4 new flavours but only to independent grocers. You should see the desperation on the Facebook page as people try to track it down.
    Fortunately my local grocer stocks it. Unfortunately, here in oz, it's crazy expensive so has to be a rare indulgence from a monetary perspective rather than a calorie one.

    Haha I'm a member of the Halotop Facebook page. They acted like bunch of feral animals when Halotop announced the new flavours. I possibly was briefly part of the stampede to seek out the new flavours :wink: But paying $11.40 for one tiny tub just really irks me!!

    I ate it for a little while to try a few flavors, but then gradually hated the taste of it. I don't eat it at all now..

    Yeah. I bought into the Halotop hype and got myself 2 pints. I ate one, and was thoroughly underwhelmed. I felt it was a waste of perfectly good calories (and $$). The other pint sat in my freezer for a couple of months until I tossed it.

    I really like Halo Top!! All the flavors I've tried have been good, but I think my favorites are pistachio and birthday cake.

    But a quick word of warning to anyone who might think of trying a so-called competitor "Arctic Zero"...it is absolutely disgusting by comparison!! Ugh! My husband instantly spit out the cookies & creme flavor when he tried it, and then I was equally disgusted by the birthday cake Arctic Zero. I tried saving the cookies & creme and mixing it with a banana to make a smoothie...it created an even worse-tasting nasty foam. It was SO BAD...and I think it was only about a dollar cheaper per pint. No thanks to that.

    If people think Halo Top has a funny aftertaste, then they would HATE Arctic Zero!

    I have to admit, I am usually more of the "eat 1 serving of regular ice cream" camp, though. I find it satisfying and way cheaper. Even when I didn't care about calories in years past, I never ate a whole container of ice cream...I actually did that for the first time recently (with Halo Top of course).

    But it is nice to have other options!
